Not insurmountable issues, in my experience:

- Your commute is sufficiently short (I managed a 30k round trip every day at my last job. Took about 45 minutes each way.)

- You have facilities to shower and dress at work (I was lucky enough to have this, but some people who don't use e-bikes to avoid arriving as a sweaty mess)

- You have sufficient time to shower and dress at work (Say 15 minutes? Is that really a major issue? Just think of all the time you're saving by exercising and commuting at the same time.)

- You don't have to bring kids or sizable cargo (I've got a kid's bike trailer and a kid's bike seat to take my kids to Kindergarten on the way to work)

- Weather is sufficiently good (I live in Germany. I get by. When there's deep fresh snow I don't cycle, the rest of the time it's fine.)

- You're sufficiently healthy (Cycling's a great way to get sufficiently healthy.)
